Hi, I havn't been around SH land for a while but as this topic happens to be on my doorstep i thought it may be interesting to run this thread.
The latest news it seems is that the organisation who intend to set up this new venture have,on legal advice,found that "special" planning permission is not infact needed (over and above the usual that would be expected for a normal hotel or bar)and are so intending to open in the next few months.
From the "locals" comments,from the mis-informed to the downright homophobic!, I can't see what all the fuss is about?
For many years a local nightclub ran very sucessful alternatve nights and even had live "exotic" dancers of a Saturday lunchtimes!(Now sadly closed).
Also theres two traditional licenced "adult" establishments(sexshops),located on industrial estates plus a sort of covert adult "toy" shop upstairs of a general bookshop in the high st as well as the Ann Summers place?
The council run "Guildhall" also does gay nights and generally most pubs seem happy to serve anyone provided they behave!
I will try keep you posted on this one!
Interesting indeed :!:
Would be great to have another localish club from our perspective (Bristol).
Do keep us updated, thank you.
lol!

Surely people would be more gentle!!!
Although once known as the "ram inn", it was for many many years called the "new county hotel" right up until it 't ya think the title "sex hotel" is a poor bit of journalism? what is a sex hotel anyway? is it something you use between five and seven?!
Hi Anais! hows the cum shed doin?
Hi mr & mrs tweeky!I will indeede keep us all updated.
Edit...Just to add one more link,this one has comments! but predates the current state of play as of 14th october 09.
Heres the latest as of 25/11/09 :
A "certificate of Lawfulness".Its quite worth looking this phrase up on the net!
Well it seems the "New county hotel" is now open and touting for business (you can google search that bit!-as I am not one for giving free advertising!) However it is ONLY operating as a hotel/bar/restarant. The bit that I am sure is of interest to the likes of us is NOT open..as yet.
I must admit I am now a bit confused and unfortunately the local paper printed this information in its paper but has not put this up on its website so I can't let you have a link.
Seems to me this hotel business is now working as a separate organisation to the "club mysteque" and rather oddly is aiming at "family" ie with kids???? as well as the usual business people,holiday makers
So... watch this space!
Hi guys, fairly new to posting on these forums so please forgive me.
I heard they had problem getting a certain licence and that might b why it has opened as a non swinging hotel first to bring in some revenue. However I am aware that it is fully kitted out for swinging. Any more details would be gratefully received.
